VS 2005 Debugging Tips

Jim Gries has posted a number of excellent "Debugger Tips, Tricks and Tools". Two that I've found very useful and use quite a bit now in my day-to-day debugging are:

Debugger Tips, Tricks and Tools #3 - Use tracepoints to log execution flow and even modify it. No more debug print statements and the trick of setting the instruction pointer is an excellent time saver.

Debugger Tips, Tricks and Tools #10 - Macro to have a one-step operation to attach to a process. I work on Outlook and I've created a macro to attach to Outlook in one step.

I've subscribed to Jim's blog and I can't wait for some more useful debugging tips and tricks. Thanks Jim and keep them coming.
